Bitcoin Nora

If you found a seed phrase on the flood
And it was for a wallet with a value of 1BTC
You arguably didn't steal it because you just happened to find it
And you don't know who it belongs to so you can't return it
But if you did transfer it to someone else's wallet, you might be draining someone else's funds - they might have another back up
What would you do?

If they can go after the Coldcard thief/hacker and prosecute he/them, then who is to say that the government cant label us terrorists for financially attacking our respective governments?
And use the same methods to come after us?
We have to be careful what we wish for

Let's say you have your seed phrase on a metal plate. What would you do in the event that you want to move to another country and take your bitcoin with you? #asknostr

Someone who has 1 BTC in a wallet or wallets protected by sufficient entropy now has more BTC than someone with 100 BTC who was only using a Coldcard hardwire device. The lesson is that wealth in BTC terms is not solely about quantity - but quantity AND security. If anything, security is more important. Otherwise, it is like building a house on sand

Being able to correctly generate your own random private key so you can safely store Bitcoin is a valuable life skill
And it is morally good to teach someone how to do this
However, advising or instructing someone on how to hold their BTC is not the same thing - and it is morally dubious at best

Yeah. It's a slippery slope. I'm sure many of them begin with good intentions. The more I think about it, the smartest guys in BTC don't recommend hardware wallets

On a topic that is totally unrelated to the Coldcard scandal and best practice for storing seed phrases
Is it painful getting a tattoo on the sole of your foot?

Didn't Mossad remotely blow up people's phones?
Who is to say something similar hasn't been applied to hardware devices
Or could there be a way to track them?
The Coldcard fiasco has made me deeply sceptical about hardware as a general method of handling BTC - not just entropy

I'm seeing conversations about the bounciness of the surface upon which the dice are rolled now
Not that I'm dismissing the importance of surface bounciness for proper entropy
But you just have to laugh 😂😂

2026-08-02 16:00:46 CEST

Hardware wallets wrongly became synonymous with cold storage
Largely down to effective marketing by the businesses producing hardware wallets and the influencers selling them

People don't hate risk management. They were misled and sold a faulty product. It might not be practical, but at least from a moral perspective it would be the right thing to do. And they might have been better of doing that than getting sued.

Should bitcoin hardware companies have an emergency fund to reimburse customers in the event of a hack?
Providing the victim can prove they were hacked and it was the company's fault
Even if the fund doesn't equal the total BTC stolen - it could be distributed on a pro-rata basis - to at least provide some insurance
This would give customers confidence in trusting in the company's hardware in the first place as well

If it is morally right for the government to tax inheritance in order to create a 'fairer' society, then could you argue it is fair to edit people's genes so that they are all the same height, iq, etc at birth?
That would be the logical endpoint of egalitarianism, right?
